I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

By 300:[-] p.m., the defenders had almost lost all their casualties. There were only about [-] soldiers left, more than half of them were wounded soldiers, and nearly half of the Japanese soldiers were killed or wounded. However, there were still about [-] battle-ready soldiers. The outcome was decided.

At the last moment, Gao Dao made a phone call with Zhao Shoushan. Zhao Shoushan was shocked and angry on the phone: "Captain Gao! What are you doing? I have prepared a reinforcement battalion and more than 3000 militiamen to reinforce you, but you repeatedly refused ?How is this going?"

"Master Zhao..." Gao Dao said with a smile, "The victory or defeat is actually not important, the most important thing is to kill the Japanese army as much as possible, right? Now, let the reinforcements you send me wait for half an hour before launching an attack on the train station , must be blocked!"

"What do you mean?" Zhao Shoushan was taken aback, feeling uncertain.

"I'm a graduate of the ninth batch of the Whampoa Military Academy!" Gao Daoxian sighed, "In the face of a national crisis, if soldiers don't die, who will die first? Whampoa students will die first, who will die first? To tell you the truth, I planned to join the Nanjing Army , but before they had time to go, the Battle of Nanjing began.

Okay, stop talking, I should be on my way!" He hung up the phone.

Gao Daoxian was sitting in the waiting hall of the railway station, smoking slowly, and beside him, seven or eight load-bearing pillars in the hall were tied with thick explosive packages, with a total weight of more than [-] kilograms, all of which were seized. The dynamite that came from Japan had a very short fuse and exploded almost immediately.

When a large number of Japanese soldiers rushed in like a pack of wolves, they saw a Chinese colonel smiling contemptuously at them, and they had no time to respond, "Boom!" In a burst of sky-collapsing explosions, the entire Jinan Railway Station was almost destroyed. On the ground, the whole building collapsed, killing and wounding four to five hundred Japanese soldiers on the spot, and most importantly, also killing the commander of the regiment, Ichikawa Osamu, who took the lead in the charge, making the 145th regiment of the Japanese army All of a sudden, the group of "dragons" had no leader.

Subsequently, the reinforcements of the defenders who arrived near the train station launched an overwhelming attack, and all of a sudden expelled the tired 145th Regiment from the ruined train station.

When it was dark, Lieutenant General Matsuura's mood was like the weather outside, with thunder and lightning, and the wind and rain were dark, because after only three days and two nights of fighting, his 106th Division had accumulated more than 7000 casualties. More than [-] people died.

In fact, the Jinan garrison had suffered a total of more than [-] casualties (mostly militiamen), fully four times that of the Japanese army, but this "war result" made Lieutenant General Matsuura very unhappy, because he wanted What matters is not the number of enemies wiped out, but the city of Jinan.

Lieutenant General Matsuura shuddered at the thought that he might not be able to complete the task.

Lieutenant General Matsuura did not realize that on this thunderstorm night, he was about to encounter a bigger crisis.

Chapter 371 Iron and Blood Battle (6)

The night is like ink, and the rainstorm is like pouring, in the city of Jinan.

Ten years ago, Cai Gongshi and other 17 Chinese diplomats were killed in the ruins of the Nationalist Government’s Shandong Provincial Negotiation Office. The bonfire was raging. Fourteen large gasoline barrels were suspended by iron chains. A bonfire was lit under each gasoline barrel. The barrels were filled with water, and the water was slowly heating up under the flames, and it was steaming hot. There was still a person soaked in each gasoline barrel, all of whom were stripped naked and tied up.

The fourteen people who were being "boiled frogs" were all wounded Japanese soldiers who were captured during the Battle of the Railway Station.

After the big explosion at the railway station, Qu Yang, the commander of the 171rd Infantry Battalion of the 3st Regiment, led the whole battalion and thousands of militiamen to fight back. He saw Japanese soldiers who were killed and injured everywhere, and many Japanese soldiers were still in the explosion. Qu Yang ordered the wounded Japanese soldiers to be captured alive. Thirty to forty prisoners were captured for the purpose of interrogating intelligence. The first belonged to the division headquarters guard of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army, so it was handed over to the commander Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun was overjoyed, and in order to get the Japanese prisoners to speak, he came up with this method of torture.

The fire was burning vigorously, and the cold water in the gasoline barrel turned into warm water, and then into hot water. Obviously, after a while, the hot water in the barrel would turn into boiling water or even boiling water. Japanese prisoners of war will change from the treatment of taking a hot bath to the torture of being boiled into human broth.

The fourteen Japanese prisoners writhed and struggled desperately, making indistinct noises from their mouths. They could not speak because a cloth belt was tied around their mouths, not to prevent them from biting their tongues to commit suicide. , In fact, biting off the tongue is not suicide, but to prevent them from screaming and cursing too loudly when they become "boiled fish".

Zhang Yun watched this scene with satisfaction. He saw that the faces of the Japanese prisoners gradually changed from hatred, resentment, and stubbornness to pain, fear, and despair.

Zhang Yun, with his hands behind his back, slowly circled around the Japanese prisoners, expressing emotion to himself. Lu Xinrong, who was next to him, translated his Chinese into Japanese:

"In our China, there is an idiom called 'axe and soup wok', which refers to this. This criminal law is also called cooking and killing, and boiling in a cauldron. It is really terrifying. I really don't know why people can come up with so many things that make people feel extremely painful. Method.

In fact, I planned to make Ling Chi for you too, but I couldn't find a skilled master, so I used this cheap and high-quality method.

In addition, there are two types of cooking, one is to boil the water or oil, and then throw the living people into it, the other is to put the people in cold water or cold oil, and then slowly heat the fire, I personally like The second type, after all, the first type kills people at once, the time of pain is too short, and it needs to be added that the pot can be either water or oil, the latter is too wasteful, so water is used Waiting for you all.

How about it?Is the water temperature already a little hot?Don't complain, it's not even [-] degrees Celsius yet!To be honest, I definitely don’t have the courage to bear it myself. I usually take a hot bath with hot water at [-] degrees, [-] degrees, my God!Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

How about it?Is it hot?Look at your expressions, it's very painful!Being boiled alive, tsk tsk, I am indeed too cruel, but there is no way, who made you Japanese?Right?I remember that during the Sengoku period in Japan, there was a thief named Ishikawa Goemon. This man was arrested when he stole a precious tea set from Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Toyotomi Hideyoshi finally ordered his whole family to be cooked. Cook his wife first. In the end, he and his son were cooked and killed. The scene was horrific. Standing in the cauldron of boiling water, Ishikawa held his son high to prevent his son from being boiled to death. In fact, he could only delay his son's death. In the end, his lower body was boiled to pieces , poured into boiling water to become a pot of bone broth, and his son also fell into it and was boiled to death together.

I have to admit that you Japanese do have special talents in this kind of thing, but unfortunately, I can't find your mother, wife and son right now, otherwise things will be much easier.

Hey, why are you all red like crabs?Painful?If you want to end it, then tell me, where is the division headquarters of your division commander?Those who are willing to speak, just nod!"

The hot water in the gasoline drum has begun to bubble and bubble, and the Japanese prisoner inside is struggling like crazy, his whole body is red, and his skin has begun to blister and even peel off. The sound still made everyone at the scene feel their scalps tingling. After all, being boiled alive is indeed extremely painful and terrifying. The victim will eventually die of severe burns and internal organ failure.

The fourteen captives were basically injured, and three of them wailed and fell into the boiling water and did not climb up again. They were scalded to death and turned into boiled human flesh. ", Lu Xinrong and others couldn't help bending over to vomit, only Zhang Yun was still watching this scene with relish, five of the remaining eleven captives hit their heads against the wall of the gasoline barrel desperately, their facial features were distorted Like an evil ghost, blood dripped from his forehead. In order to die quickly or pass out, the other six were nodding desperately.

Zhang Yun waved his hand, and a dozen soldiers stepped forward and dragged the six Japanese captives who were willing to confess out of the gasoline barrel. All of them were red and hot, like pigs with hair shed. One of the captives was killed by soldiers. When dragging with too much force, a large piece of skin "slid" off like a piece of rag. The skin was completely boiled, and after being dragged out, the person was already dying. , Half dead.

Of the six prisoners who were willing to confess, four remained conscious.

Zhang Yun sent someone to give each of the four people a map of the Jinan area, and asked them to mark the division headquarters of the 106th Division on it separately. The places drawn by the four on the map were the same.

"Yoxi!" Zhang Yun looked at the map and said with joy, "Matsuura Junliulang, this old devil, was originally in Tangwang Town in the northeast suburb of Jinan City!" He gave the map to Zhang Jinglu, the captain of the reconnaissance team who was also on the scene, " My family!"

Zhang Jinglu took the map and looked at it: "Well, yes, our scouts did find traces of suspected senior Japanese military officers in and out of Tangwang Town, but we couldn't investigate in depth after all.

It seems that it can be confirmed now that Songpu is in Tangwang Town!"

"Second Young Master said, scold people first, scold mother first, and capture thief first!" Zhang Yun was very excited, "We fought hard, if we can get rid of Songpu, this battle will be much easier! Old Lu!"

Lu Xinrong nodded, excited: "Understood! My 417 can show its skills again!"

"Well, you two devils have another chance to make great achievements!" Zhang Yun also nodded.

Lu Xinrong was furious immediately: "What two devils! The second devil is the one who recognizes the thief as his father. We have already turned our backs on the dark!"

Zhang Yun lit a cigarette: "However, if we want to give the devil a black tiger's heart, we still need to make some arrangements.

Let's go, let's go to the teacher's seat! "

"Tuan Zuo!" Qu Yang called Zhang Yun to stop, and then pointed to the Japanese prisoners who were still alive, "What should we do with these Japanese pigs?"

Without hesitation, Zhang Yun said, "Throw it all in and cook it! At least don't waste our firewood!"

The division headquarters of the 17th Division is the Jinan City Defense Command. Zhao Shoushan was silent for a long time after hearing Zhang Yun's plan of "comprehensive counterattack, creating chaos, and then fishing in troubled waters".

Zhang Yun asked in surprise: "Master, what's wrong?"

Zhao Shoushan asked without answering: "You suggest that all the militiamen and migrant workers should be used to fight back?"

Zhang Yun nodded: "Of course! The goal of the Japanese army is to attack the city, and our army's overall combat power is not as good as that of the Japanese army, so the Japanese army will not be repelled. The battle will definitely evolve into a large-scale melee on a rainy night, and both the enemy and us will fall into chaos. Among them, Lu Xinrong and the others will have an opportunity!"

Zhao Shoushan nodded, but his expression was bitter: "I don't know how many militia workers died tonight..."

"Master seat!" Zhang Yun was also a little bit impatient, but the unbearable expression was fleeting on his face, "This is war! Speaking of which, the rainy night melee is more beneficial to our side! In the rainy night melee, the Japanese army's marksmanship and The firepower cannot be exerted, and the comparison is hand-to-hand combat.

In broad daylight, we have to exchange four or five lives for the life of a Japanese soldier. In a rainy night, maybe two or three lives can be exchanged for the life of a Japanese soldier. Master, this way of fighting has made us money! "

Zhao Shoushan nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, yes!"

After the full-scale counterattack broke out on a rainy night, Zhao Shoushan took the lead and led the charge. He actually wanted to die, because he witnessed the countless tragedies of the residents of Jinan. Although he did not cause it, it also made him feel like a knife. He wrote in his diary: "Even if this battle (Battle of Jinan) is won in the end, how can I triumphantly? Jinan City has ten rooms and three empty rooms, and seven rooms wear mourning. Soldiers are supposed to protect the country and the people. To fight against the enemy so that the people are deprived of their lives, and the people are devastated? The people suffer so much, and we, the soldiers, cannot escape the blame!"

In fact, just before Zhang Yun came, Zhao Shoushan encountered something that shocked him. A large number of Jinan civilians came to the headquarters of the 17th Division in a dense crowd, knelt down in unison, in the heavy rain, The kneeling crowd was black and dense, crying one after another.

After receiving the report, Zhao Shoushan hurried out, and he was taken aback: "Everyone, this is..."

"Sir! Please let me go! I don't want to die..." A Jinan militiaman burst into tears, "Sir, my two elder brothers are dead, and I am the only one in my family. If I die too, I will die." Who will take care of the parents..." Beside him was a pair of gray-haired old couple kneeling together, weeping and kowtowing together.

"Sir, we don't want to fight anymore, we really don't want to fight anymore, I'm the only son in my family..."

"Boss, don't force us, my man is dead, what will happen to me and my child..."

Those Jinan civilians who came to petition Zhao Shoushan did not want to continue the war. The fierce battle lasted for three days and two nights. There were countless corpses and many dead on the battlefield in Jinan. Great hit.

In order to disintegrate the fighting spirit of the soldiers and civilians in the city, Akiyama Osaku, the chief of staff of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army, sent an interpreter to shout loudly on the ground, "As long as you leave the city and surrender immediately, you can avoid death." You are being cannon fodder", "They hide behind, but drive you into battle to die", etc. These words have indeed affected the hearts of many people. In addition, there are still many traitors and Japanese spies in the city who are fanning the flames and bewitching people's hearts. More and more civilians want to leave.

Those who want to leave, some are militia workers, do not want to die, and want to take their families out of the city, the Japanese army can let them go if they leave the city. The old, weak, women and children whose men have died in battle are unwilling to lose their families.

"Compatriots..." Zhao Shoushan burst into tears, "I know you are all suffering, but...the devils are coming, we must resist..."

"Resist what a fart!" A woman in the crowd cried out hoarsely, "When the devils first attacked Jinan, the guy surnamed Gu (Gu Liangmin, commander of the 22nd Division of the Lu Army) didn't let him go. Scolding him, now I know that he is actually doing good deeds! The surname Gu did not let go, and the devils occupied Jinan. Basically, no one died in Jinan. Now you are resisting, but you have killed so many of us. People! My man was encouraged by you to go to the battlefield, and he was poisoned to death by the devils, so what will we do with the rest of us!" She burst into tears.

"If I had known that so many people would die, it would be better to let Jinan be occupied by devils!" Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

"You hide behind yourself, but you trick us ordinary people into the front!"

The crowd was crying and begging at first, and then slowly, it became excited and even filled with righteous indignation and public grievances.

Zhao Shoushan looked at these Jinan people who scolded him at a loss, feeling extremely sad and painful.

When Zhao Shoushan was sad and depressed, Lieutenant General Matsuura was also extremely irritable and angry.

What Lieutenant General Matsuura was upset about was naturally the battle situation in Jinan. He couldn't figure it out, how could his 106-strong army of a division not be overwhelmed but fell into a bitter battle?It is said that after the Battle of Jinan, someone in the top ranks of the Japanese army repeatedly studied the battle, and finally concluded the reasons for the failure of the 17th Division: First, the division prepared hastily and underestimated the enemy in the early stage; second, the division commander, Lieutenant General Matsuura, was stupid Third, the 17th Division defending the city was actually the Nanjing Army, which was not only powerful in combat, but also played an important role in protecting the residents of the city. Leading effect, the [-] officers and soldiers of the [-]th Division and the more than [-] militia and migrant workers in the city are like "a small group of lions leading a large group of sheep", and they have not lost to the Japanese army in spirit and momentum; Fourth, the city defense troops fought by all means , and the army commander is ruthless and doesn't care about the life and death of the Jinan militia and migrant workers (in fact, the defenders have no choice but to pile up their lives to win).

Lieutenant General Matsuura is more than that. He is also angry that his troops are constantly being harassed outside the city. From Qingdao to Jinan, the 106th Division has been ambushed and attacked one after another. The scale is not large. , They were all made by guerrillas or bandits, but the small amount of brown candy added up to make the Japanese army pay hundreds of casualties intermittently. The most troublesome thing was the railway.

At this time, there were two main railway lines in Shandong Province. One was the Jinpu Railway that ran through Shandong Province from north to south, and the other was the "Jinan-Qingdao Railway" that ran from Qingdao to Jinan. Jinan was located at the intersection of these two railways. superior.

The 106th Division came from Qingdao and took the Jinan-Qingdao Railway. It originally planned to capture Jinan and go to Xuzhou to participate in the war along the Jinpu line. As a result, it was restrained in Jinan. The infantry, cavalry, and artillery units of the division basically disappeared Arriving at the Jinan battlefield, but the logistics troops are still behind, carrying the urgently needed ammunition and supplies of the whole division, the load is heavy, and the speed is slow. Stopping and stopping, slow as a snail, Lieutenant General Lai Chuan and Sun Bingwei were first urged by Lieutenant General Matsuura, and then directly scolded. The combat effectiveness of the army depends on the support of logistics to a large extent. Without bullets, how can the army fight?Grand Master Lai Chuan was scolded bloody by Lieutenant General Matsuura. He felt extremely miserable, because the Jinan-Qingdao Railway was so damaged that his team had to build roads while advancing. In the meantime, even a section of more than ten kilometers of railroad tracks disappeared. There is no doubt that the marching speed of the Japanese army's supply troops can be imagined.

The Jinan-Qingdao Railway is more than 250 kilometers long, which is not too short. The Japanese army is very insufficient in Shandong Province at this time. Most of the troops are concentrated in Jinan, Qingdao and other big cities and important cities and on both sides of the railway line. The reason why the teacher was able to "enter the land of no one" in the first place.

It should be noted that destroying the Japanese railway is not a simple matter.

When Zhang Yun raided Zhucheng County, he once encountered a national army railway sabotage team operating near the Jinan-Qingdao Railway. There are more than 300 people, the team leader is Cheng Kang, a native of Hubei, and Zhang Yun is a classmate, both of them are graduates of Whampoa Seventh Class.

Zhang Yun asked Cheng Kang "how to destroy the railway", and Cheng Kang said: "Destroying the railway seems simple, but it is actually very difficult.

First of all, the easiest way is to set fire to the sleepers, and also slightly deform the rails, or use tools such as iron picks to bend the rails, but only slightly damaged, or remove a section of the rails on the railroad and bring Going, however, will not cause too much trouble to the Japanese army. The Japanese army has armored patrol vehicles that can be used for both railways and roads. The dedicated railway maintenance team has strong combat effectiveness, and many members are specialized mechanical maintenance engineers, who can repair the railway within two hours.

Therefore, destroying the railway is easy to say, but it is really difficult! "

Zhang Yun was puzzled: "Can't you just blow up the railway with explosives?"

Cheng Kang spat at Zhang Yun: "Nonsense! If our guerrillas had so many explosives, would we still be guerrillas? We would have confronted the devils head-on! Your regular army is so rich that you don't know how difficult our guerrillas are!"

Zhang Yun was ashamed after hearing this, and he then allocated a large number of weapons and ammunition to Cheng Kang from the captured Japanese military trophies, including more than a ton of TNT explosives and a radio station.

On this thunderstorm night, Chengkang's railway sabotage team played a great role.

In fact, behind every frontal battle, there are many troops who did not directly participate in the battle but are doing their best to make their own contributions in obscurity.

For example, during the defense of Jinan, more than [-] Chinese armed forces (mostly guerrillas) participated in the outskirts of the Jinan battlefield, which contained a lot of Japanese forces. Chengkang's fifth team of the Shandong Railway Destruction Corps was one of them. one.

After receiving more than a ton of explosives from Zhang Yun, Cheng Kang has been reluctant to use them as a treasure. On the other hand, how to use these explosives?Taking advantage of the absence of Japanese troops on the railway, detonate it?This is meaningless at all, and the Japanese army can repair it immediately, so Chengkang took a different approach. He took more than 300 team members, in a valley called Haoshanyu in the southeast of Yiyuan County, where the Jinan-Qingdao Railway passed. More than 100 people Scattered around for security, more than 200 people dug tunnels in the forest hundreds of meters away from the railway, all the way to the bottom of the railway, and then buried more than [-] kilograms of explosives and connected fuses and detonators.

At 8 o'clock in the morning on August 21, in the midst of heavy wind and rain, the Japanese 106th Division's heavy-duty regiment arrived on a fast-moving train. At the front were three armored patrol vehicles. If the railway was found to be damaged, the patrol vehicles immediately issued an alarm. Signal, the train behind will stop slowly, and the Japanese military technicians on the patrol car will rush to repair the railway, and then let the train start.

Seeing the patrol car passing by, and the train behind roaring, Cheng Kang, who was lying in ambush in the forest beside the railway, smiled. While on the rails, he slammed the button.

"Boom!" The entire Haoshan Valley was almost overturned by the earth-shattering explosion. The fire shone so brightly that Haoshan Valley was as bright as day. More than 300 kilograms of explosives exploded in a concentrated manner, no less than a dozen heavy artillery shells. Half a kilometer of railroad track was blown to pieces and distorted. The locomotive of the Japanese train almost disintegrated in the explosion, and then quickly derailed and overturned. Constantly and violently, all the train cars collided into a ball, and the whole train was like a rolling and twisting long steel snake. The sound of metal twisting and steel friction was almost deafening. The carriage was torn apart and changed beyond recognition as if it had been stuffed into a stamping machine. The people, corpses, and supplies inside flew out of the carriage from the window, rolling and blocking the valley.

Immediately afterwards, another big explosion sounded, and the hurricane-like fire roared and swept across the valley. It was the Japanese artillery shells in the carriage that were detonated. In the sea of ​​explosions and flames, the corpses of Japanese soldiers, supplies, and train fragments that were blown away flew all over the sky in the overwhelming explosion waves, and fell one after another, messing up the fields and filling the valleys.

Chengkang's bombing not only killed four to five hundred Japanese soldiers, but also destroyed thousands of tons of ammunition supplies that the Japanese troops urgently needed on the Jinan battlefield, and even completely destroyed the railway line here in Haoshanyu. A section of the railway line was paralyzed for a week.

When he received the report of this incident, Lieutenant General Matsuura was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He was almost furious, but at the next moment, the earth-shattering Chinese shouts of killing broke through the night and rain, and poured into Lieutenant General Matsuura's ears. The Jinan defenders launched an unprecedented counterattack.

More than 17 regular troops of the [-]th Division and the Parachute Regiment led more than [-] militia and migrant workers, attacking from all sides, overwhelming the Japanese army.
